Hi! Does anyone know how many grandsons and granddaughters does John Donaldson has?? Patricia is married to Scott Bailey, (but I think I read somewhere that she has kids with someone else), Jane and Craig Stephens have 2 girls and John and Leanne Donaldson have 2 boys.[IMG]../ugala/forums/images/smilies/confused.gif[/IMG] Am I right?? And of course CP Mary and CP Frederik's little Prince Christian.

The two boys beside Leanne and John were Alexander and Michael who were not in the wedding party as they were too old to be page boys.
The flowergirls were Erin, Kate and Maddison (Molly was to young).
John and Leeanne did not bring either of their daughters to Copenhagen.

Mary said in interviews in January 04 that she had eight neices and nephews (included Sherre), so now John has nine grand-children.
Mary and Frederik now have ten nieces and nephews (adding Nikoli and Felix).

It is known that mary and her family are still in contact with this side of the family in Scotland. Catherine Murray (Marys mother's sister) was reported as the "matriach" of that side of the family.

She was at the wedding as well as the Christening of her great nephew as we saw photos of her in a car with Mary, Jane and Patricia.
Her comment to her local scots paper after the wedding was that she was given "the royal treatment" as the eldest of her family and was given a position right at the front to view the bridal walz as "guest of honour'.

I read somewhere that Mary's Dad and Step-mother will be moving out of their apartment by the end of the month, as the "lease" runs out.

They have been staying in an apartmentin Nyhavn, own by the National Bank, asigned for forign professors and researches for a periode of time, and now that periode has passed...Does anyone know if they will stay in Denmark?

I haven't heard the France thing. Really Mary is the only one that is far away. The rest of the family is in Australia. I think her father will return to Australia. Most of the grandchildren and children are there. They own a house there, and I'm sure all their friends are there. If anything, I just think they will come and stay with Mary a few weeks out of the year.

I think the "far away" comment has to do with Susan Moody's children (John Donaldson's step-children) as well...I thnk most of them are in England...So France being *middle ground* is ridiculous!!! Can't they just admit they want to live in France for personal reasons (because they like the place), unrelated to their children...true middle ground (between Europe and Australia) would mean they should base themselves in India or Hong Kong or Japan and I personally don't see that happening, do you?

No I can't see that happening. I think Susan may have children living in the USA.
